ARTIST STATEMENT
In the making of “Celebration of Indigo,” I was determined to use only fabric I had on hand and my own hand-dyed fabrics. Even though I was working improvisationally and intuitively, I created the large circles intending them to be “heads,” as in “Best Friends.” I was spending my days of isolation playing with fabric and design and continued to create entities to keep me company!
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES
Commercial and hand-dyed cotton fabric, wool/cotton batting, and polyester thread.
Machine-pieced, and machine-quilted (sit down longarm quilting machine).
